I have 15 years experience in the animal industry, and am currently working full-time as a veterinary nurse.
At home we have have our Cairn Terrier (old man) Ted, our cats Princess Ella and Jess, and our cheeky guinea pigs Sara, Sahara and Fluffy.
My husband is a work from home parent, so your pets will only ever be alone for short durations, and will be well looked after/receive lots of cuddles even during the daytime.
Being a vet nurse, my family is very familiar with me bringing animals home in the evenings, and everyone pitches in to make sure they feel right at home.
